review 1: A great go-to text for developing non-fictions reading skills with your students. I love the fact that many practical strategies are housed in one place. Some I've used before & some I intend to try. Daniels' & Steineke's approach is a nice compliment Kelly Gallagher's Article of the Week, which I used with great success last year. I feel this text will provide a little more scaffolding, something my students need, to make the AoW experience that much more meaningful.
review 2: Nice to have good nonfiction articles and the associated reading/writing strategies to help students engage with them all in one place. In some of the sets in the second part of the book, I wished for less bias. Even if I happen to agree with a perspective represented by the samples, I t... morehink teachers should supplement to provide a balanced perspective that students can use to determine their own views. Some teachers at the AP scoring noticed that a set of texts can bias students toward one perspective or another, even if the texts seem to show multiple perspectives. When they don't even show more than one view, as a few sets in this book do, the options for students are even narrower. That said, there is much of value in this book--and the authors do something they've done in their other books that I really appreciate: they give tips for where/how the lesson could go wrong. These are ideas that have been used with students and thoughtfully considered. less
